Полезная модель относится к области железнодорожного транспорта, в частности, к сигналам и путевым знакам, закрепляемым на типовых скобах вагона в качестве сигнального устройства хвостового вагона, как сигнала, ответственного за безопасность движения поездов. Техническим результатом полезной модели является универсальная возможность простого и надежного крепления сигнального устройства проволокой к деталям любого вагона, в случае отсутствия на вагоне типовой скобы для штатного крепления сигнального устройства. Это позволяет в свою очередь ставить вагоны без типовой скобы в хвост поезда и не искать для них специальные сигнальные устройства, что сокращает маневровую работу при формировании поезда (в т.ч. электропоезда в нерабочем состоянии, когда вагоны поданы прямо с завода). Кроме того, обеспечивается возможность переноски большего количества сигнальных устройств в одной руке, чем в прототипе и более удобный процесс переноски. Также обеспечивается возможность хранения множества однотипных сигнальных устройств на настенном штыре или гвозде, без потребности для хранения использовать секции на полках или в шкафу (то есть при хранении устройств не требуется занимать площади помещения). Указанный технический результат достигается тем, что заявлено универсальное сигнальное устройство для хвоста грузового поезда, представляющее из себя поверхность, на лицевой части которой нанесено светоотражающее покрытие по меньшей мере двух цветов, внутренняя поверхность устройства имеет крепежную часть, которая состоит из основной пластины - скобы с упором и удлиненной части - ручки, и из прикрепленной к основной пластине с внутренней стороны нижней ее части пружинистой пластины с упором, отличающееся тем, что в ручке выполнено сквозное отверстие с диаметром не менее 1 мм.

Method and system for identifying a directional heading of a vehicle

Номер: US20130261837A1
Принадлежит: General Electric Co

A system for verifying a route segment that a vehicle is traveling along includes a magnetic sensor and a control unit. The magnetic sensor generates an output signal based on an orientation of the sensor relative to an external magnetic field. The control unit receives an operator-designated route segment. The operator-designated route segment represents a selected route segment of the route segments that is identified by the operator as being the route segment on which the vehicle is traveling. The control unit identifies a directional heading of the vehicle based on the output signal from the magnetic sensor and determines an actual route segment of the routes segments in the network that the vehicle is actually traveling along based on the directional heading of the vehicle. The control unit verifies that the actual route segment on which the vehicle is actually traveling is the selected route segment.

Vital speed profile to control a train moving along a track

Номер: US20130325225A1
Принадлежит: Invensys Rail Corp

A speed profile for an entire train trip includes a maximum allowable speed at each point of the entire trip, taking into account the ability of the train to comply with speed reductions encountered during the trip. The speed profile includes a braking curve that gradually reduces from a higher speed to a lower speed starting at a point at which the train must begin braking in order to be traveling at the lower speed when the train reaches the point at which the lower speed limit begins. The speed profile is generated on multiple wayside computers, cross checked, and then vitally transmitted to an onboard locomotive control system. The onboard control system includes redundant speed sensors with redundant vital circuits, and also includes redundant speed comparators to ensure that the train doesn't exceed the speed profile. A GPS receiver may be used for greater reliability.

A train monitoring device includes an obtaining unit to obtain device status information, a monitoring unit including an event detection definition, and an event detection program to interpret the event detection definition and check whether an event has occurred. When the event detection program monitors the status of the device, a first program included in the event detection program interprets and executes an intermediate language representation included in the event detection definition, and a second program included in the event detection program determines whether an event has occurred by using area information and storage information about a memory having stored therein a value that indicates whether an event has occurred, the area information and the storage information being included in the event detection definition. An output unit outputs an alarm indicating that the device is an anomalous status when the monitoring unit detects an anomaly in the device.
